MAGAZINE PAY. BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE. The " Sexton's Danz-liter," by a writer who signs him self " Archasas," is very properly placed first in the present number. It is a fine poem, fall of pure and lofty thoughts, simply and unsffswetilv cxpresscd. We trace something of the manner of Wor.:ls.vorth's " Lyric tl Ballads" in it ; but it is no servile imitation—or at any rats. a very slight ana superficial one—for the author's tl , ooghts and feelings are all his own. His sketch of the Old S. xton contains One or two happily developed traits of character, such, for instance, as his professional mode of regarding humanity as " awaiting but the shroud and p 41," with the sole exception of his favourite child, whose death, so checrful and happy was the child's nature, seemed to him quite an impossible event. We subjoin this characteristic p tssage : One daughter, little Jane, had he, The silent Sexton's only child, And when she laughed aloud and free, The grey ()A Sexton smiled. Ali else to him appeared as dead, Awaiting but the shroud and pall, It seemed that to himself be said— ' I soon shall dig the graves of all.' And beast, and man, and home, and wife, He saw with cold, accustomed eye ; Jane only looked so full of life, As if that she could never die. The Sexton's :laughter soon ripens into a lovely woman, as We learn by these striking lines : Years flowed away, and never brut ;ht The weary weight of care to Jana ; They gave emotion, wonder, thought, The strength of life without the pa'n. To her new beauty largely given From deeper fountains loukud and s piled, And like a morning dream from heaven, The woman gleamed within the child, 'ithdrawn was she from passing eyes Ey more than fortune's out ward law ; ily bashful thoughts like silent sighs, Ry Feeling's lone, retiring awe. • The last line is replete with expression, and could have been written by none but a true poet. Mr. Worlswortb, we are sure, will appreciate its deep meaning. The close of the poem, descriptive of the utter desol.ition cf the old Sexton spirit after the death of his daughter, is highly . wrought, ipto not. too much so :-- Upon the spring, clad fields and woods__ . - - the churchY-.=*----""-Tatemwen-c-ower, The warm pure daylight softly broods, And fills with life the morning hour. 11,e vast sepulchral yew.tree waves, And feels the sunshine cheer the shade, And e'en the low and grassy graves Appear in living slumber laid. The only sad and helpless thing, That May.day makes not less forlorn, Is that old man, to whom the spring Is dead, and dead the breezy morn. These live not now, for all is dead With her who lies below the sod ; His daughter from his life is fled, .And leaves but dust by spectres trod. The smooth sweet air is blowing round, It is a Spirit of hope to all ; It whispers o'er the wakening ground, And countless daisies hear the call. It mounts and sings away to heaven, And 'mid each light and lovely cloud i To it the lark's loud joys are given, And young leaves answer it aloud. It skims above the flat green meadow, And darkening sweeps the gray millstream ; Along the hill it drives the shadow, And sports and warms in the skiey beam. But round that hoar and haggard man It cannot shed a glimpse of gladness; He wastes beneath a separate ban, An exile to a world of sadness. " Thoughts on Orpheus" is the production of an accom plished classical scholar; but why is poor Ovid mauled so terribly ? If ho have not quite so much tenderness as Virgil, he has infinitely more fancy, and ease, and flexibility of versification. There is nothing in Latin literature su perior to that noble piece of rhetoric, the contest between " Ajax and Ulysses ;" to the earnest eloquence and dignity of the analysis of the Pythagorean system ; or the sweet ness and plaintive tone that breathes through the tale of Ceyx and Halcyone. We must confess to a strong par tiality for Ovid ; he is our favourite Latin poet—though we grant he is at times too wordy and redundant in his descriptions—and has penned a line, addressed by Lao damia to Prote s il aus , " i n t er m ill e ra t es , t ua sit millesima puppis," which Virgil has not surpassed in tenderness and simplicity. " Casimir Perier" is a spirited biographical sketch, but too much is made of the subject. It is fairly crushed beneath the weight of panegyric let fall upon it. Perier was not a statesman to be remembered beyond his day. He had energy of character, but he wanted con sistency and elevation of mind. Ile mounted to power by aid of the revolutionary ladder, and then kicked it con ""'"'"`litly from und." hie coo*, ns Mirabeau would have done had lie lived. Luckily, he died just in time to save himself from such a fall as Lafitte subsequently met with, for with his irascibility of temper he never could have borne long with Louis Phillippe. "My First Circuit" is a lively, gossipping paper, from the pen of a young bar rister. The sketch of the Ranter's Love Feast at Li verpool is capital. " The Strollers" is a very passable, common-place story, whose great recommendation is its brevity. On the whole the Number is a good one. BENTLEY'S „MISCELLANY. Boz, in his Oliver Twist, indulges us with a love-scene this month, but we cannot congratulate him on his suc cess. His genius is of too vigorous and comic a character to be able to deal adequately with such delicate per plexities. He should leave them to Mr. D'lsraeli, who is at home in inditing sentimental " slang-whangery." We subjoin the sketch of Mr. Bumble, the parish Beadle, after his marriage with Mrs. Corney, which is in the author's most delightful manner : Mr. Bumble sat in the workhouse parlour, with his eyes moodily fixed on the cheerless grate, whence, as it was summer time, no brighter gleam proceeded than the reflection of certain sickly rays of the sun, which were sent back from its cold and shining surface. A paper fly cage dangled from the ceiling, to which he occasionally raised his eyes in gloomy thought ; and, as the heedless insects hovered round the gaudy net-work, Mr. Bumble would heave a deep sigh, while a more gloomy shadow overspread his countenance. Mr. Bumble was medi tating, and It might be that the insects brought to mind some painful passage in his own past life. Nor was Mr. Bumble's gloom the only thing calculated to awaken a pleasing melancholy in the bosom of a spectator. There were not wanting other appearances, and those closely connected with his own person, which announced that a great change had taken place in the position of his affairs. The laced coat and the cocked hat, where were they ? sti:l score knee-breeches and dark cotton stockings on his nether limbs, but they were not Me breeches. The coat was wide- skirted, and in that respect like the coat, but, oh, how different ! The mighty cocked-hat Has replaced by a modest round one. Mr. Bumble was no longer a beadle. There are some promotions in life which, independent of the more substantial rewards they offer, acquire eecular value and dignity from the coats and waistcoats connected with them. A field-marshal has his uniform, a bishop his silk apron, a counsellor his silk gown, a beadle his cocked hat. Strip the bishop of his apron, or the beadle of his cocked hat and gold lace, what are they ? Men,—mere men. Dig. city, and even holiness top, sometimes, are more questions of coat and waistcoat than some people imagine. Mr. Bumble had married Mrs. Corney, and was master of the work. house. Another beadle had come into power, and on him the cocked. hat, gold.laced coat, and staff; had all three descended. And to.morrow two months it was done I" said Mr. Bumble with a si gh• "It seems a nee." fir. Bumble might have meant that he had concentrated a whole existeore of . - ..• space of eight wecl,3 ; but the sigh, .—th,re was a vast deal of meaning in the sign. " I sold myself," said Mr. Bumble, pursuing the same train of re flection, " for six teaspoons, a pcir of sugar.tongs, and a milk pot, with a small quantity of second-hand furniture and twenty pound in money. I tent very reasonable—cheap, dirt cheap." Cruickshank's Illustration of this rich secnc—or rather of the one that immediately follows it--is replete with the richest drollery. The " Legend of Walter Chide" con tains some clever and ingenious versification, but the tale is needlessly spun out. The author's sketch of the heroic eay.rlir.r, Lord Falkland, is pourtrayed in quite a con (more spirit. " Paddy Flynn" is a laughable anecdote, told i n a truly Irish extravagant style of fun. Pat is in s it'd unexpcctea:y to dine with the Hon. Alemberof Cork ; a n debting in indi;ent circumstan ce s, and mov i ng i n t h e lor walks of lifo, is quite astonished at the idea of such an honour, which was proffered to him a little before elec tdion time, His account of his numerous vagaries at the tnnerable, told in the richest possible brogue, would cira r"lize well. and Power would act " Paddy" to admiration. " Coronation Miseries" is a seasonable article, descriptive of some of the ceremonies that took place at the coronation of George the Fourth. Griffone" is a story of the Pe ninsular, from th e pen of Captain Alarryatt ; one or two of the descriptions display much vigor. " The Good-for- Notting" is an az the rceable t a l e , d rawn a pp aren tl y from NEW MON THL Y hfAGAZINE. We are glad that the Imhan Sporting Pipers are con tinued. They are written with uncommon spirit, by one wh "' it is plain to see in every page, has been an eye-wit ness of all that he describe.; with such graphic skill. The sketch of a crouching tiger one of th e prep ar i ng f or hi s f ata l spr i ng i n great western jungles ; and of the combat with the wild elephant amid the same savage scenery, are drawn with as much case an ,l ei"v"liess as even Nimro,l could have exhibited. The " Drama of Italy" is a plea sant critical essay, which, however, tells us little or nothing we did not know before. The first chapter in " The lesson of Life," which is from the practised pen of Jerrold, and is styled " a household romance," describes the fevered sleep of a co nscience-stricken tyrant in a truly impressive man ner. The story, we perceive, is to be continued ; we can "(it, therefore, in this early stage of it pret,nd to offer any thing like an analysis. The dialogue portio n is written with ‘igor, and with an earnestness and an appearance of reality, for which the author is indebted to his long ac "ui4tance.with the stage. " Tereza, a tale of Revolu tionized Rome," abounds in incidents, as is usually the case with Mr. Grattan's works .of fiction. In the article en titled " Shakspcare's Historical Plays considered his torically" much useful renarth is manifeged: The Sub ject, her ever, is not treated in a sufficiently popular man nr•r. " The Manager's Note BoA" contains . this moath biographicll notices of Mrs. Wells, and Jack Edwin, whom most of our fathers can remember as the most favorite low comedian of his day—the Liston of the last generation. Mrs. Wells's memoir reads quite like a romance. " Papers of a Gentleman-at-Arms" have a sprightly , :tin of satire running through them. In puticular, they contain some humorous allusions to the Coronation. From the Sport ing paper, the " Great Western Jungle," we quote an ex tract descriptive of some English Nimrods' encounter with a wild elephant in the depths of an Indian wood : But Heaven s; re ns !—what's that ? shouted the Doctor, sprinting behind Mansfield, and seizing him by the arms, as a tremendous crash was heard amongst the bamboos, accompanied by a shrill scream like the sound of a erack'd trumpet. " Huttee! lluttee" (an elephant! an elephant !) shouted the Jag- Erardar, darting behind the shelter of a tree, and beckoning the others to fellow his example. " Down 1 down fur your lives!" exclaimed Mansfield, in an audible whisper, at the same time crouching behind a tree and cocking his rifle. " This must be the far.famed solitary elephant, which has been com mitting such ravages of late on the edge of the forest; and, if we can manage to kill him, it will be a glorious victory." The Doctor gleaned aloud in agony of spirit. " Now, lads, list to me, and if you only be• have steadily, the day is our own. Keep perfectly still till he shows himself when I whistle he will lower his head to listen from whence the smirk! comes—mind you take a steady aim at the hollow in his fore head, just above the insertion of the trunk, and, when I whistle a se c-Aid time, fire together; but take care that you only fire one barrel, reserve the other and dash off, two to the right and two to the left, so that if he does not fall, he may find a clear space to make his first ru,h. They arc stupid, short-sightcd animals, and if you keep quiet we shall probably have time to reload before he discovers us; at all events we shall have our second barrels ready. Now, mind these directions ; and you, Doctor, do, like a good fellow, try to keep your wits about you ; everything depends upon our steadiness, and the slightest mistake may cost us our lives." " The Lord have mercy on us ! This is awful work !" groaned the poor Doctor, casting a rueful glance at his favourite Mons Meg. There was a moment of breathless silence; another fearful crash was heard, and the gigantic brute, bursting forth into the open space, bran dished aloft his ponderous trunk, like a knight entering the lists defy all corners, and screamed forth his shrill note of defiance. He was a stu pendous animal, a perfect mountain of flesh, full twelve feet high, with enormous tusks, and his little twinkling red eye glared with the fire of madness. Flourishing his trunk about he snuffed the tainted air, and his scream of rage, as he stamped upon the ground, announced that he was aware of the close proximity of his enemies, although he had not yet decided In which direr-Wan Lo -mak. his ho charge,. " Now lads, steady, and reserve your fire till proper time," and Mans. field give a low whistle. The elephant started, cocked his ears, and bent down his head in the attitude of listening. He was just in the right position, and Mansfield was in the act of raising his rifle, when, crack went Mons Meg, with a report like a six pounder, and the Doctor, throwing down his weapon, took to his heels, - . roaring lustily that the monster was after him. The poor Doctor's nerves had got the better of him, and, by an involuntary twitch of his forefingers, he had pulled the trigger when he had least expected it. Mansfield and Charles fired, and both balls took effect in the head of the elephant, making the blood flow copiously; but being discharged almost at random, and not planted in the correct spot, they only acted as stimulants to hiss rage. Uttering a shrill scream, he dashed madly forward, his mouth wide open, his tail on end, and his trunk upraised, to crush all which opposed his headlong career. Mansfield and Charles darted to one side, and fled for shelter behind the stein of a large teak tree; but the poor Doctor, whose senses were completely bewildered, ran blindly forward, and his red jacket, being much too conspicuous an object to escape the notice of the enraged elephant, his fate appeared inevitable. In vain did the panting wretch twist, and turn, and dodge amongst the trees, like a hunted jackal. The destroyer was close at his heels, Lllowing every turn with the per severance of mortal hate. His strength was failing fast, and the fearful chase appeared to be drawing to a close. The trunk of the elephant was already stretched forward to grasp him, when he made a sudden turn ; the elephant overshot his mark, and, for one moment, was at fault, apparently uncertain in which direction his victim had fled. The Doctor, seeing his advantage, began, with all diligence, to climb the tree behind which he had sheltered himself. He was already several feet from the ground, and his arm was outstretched to grasp a branch which would have raised him to a place of safety, when the elephant, catching a hasty glimpse of him, dashed at him with redoubled fury, twisted his trunk round his legs, hurled him to the ground, rushed upon him, as he lay, stunned and bleeding, and kneeling down, drove at him, furiously, with his enormous tusks, burying them up to the very root. At this moment, Mansfield, who had followed the chase, dodging cautiously from tree to tree, in hopes that some lucky turn might give him a steady shot at the elephant's head, came in sight of the bloody scene. " The Lord have mercy on his soul, for he is beyond the aid of man!" exclaimed he, dropping the but-end of his rifle to the ground, and lean. ing against a tree, sick and giddy at the ghastly sight. The elephant rose from his knees, picked up the body of the unfortu nate Doctor in his trunk, tossed it to a short distance, and stood gazing on his victim, with flaming eyes, as if gathering fresh breath, before he rushed at him again, to finish the work of death, by trampling him with his feet. " By heavens you shall not complete your bloody work 1" muttered Mansfield, grinding his teeth, and raising his rifle with a steadiness of hand which never forsook him, even in the most desperate situations. The deadly bullet sped true to the mark, entering the eye, and burying itself in the brain of the elephant. The gigantic brute uttered one shrill scream of mingled rage and pain, and, sinking slowly to the ground, rolled over like a falling tower. TILE METROPOLITAN MAGAZINE. Saunders and Ot . Most of the articles in this Number are sufficiently inte resting to be read with pleasure by the ordinary readers of tuazazioe tales, but none of shem so rise above mediocrity as to call forth any expression of peculiar admiration. The " Loaded Dice" by Banim, is not equal to our expectations. Than Mr. Banim, there are few living authors greater in many respects, but then the subjects of his tales must be Ireland, and the wrongs and oppresions of Irishmen. When lie has to deal with the deep or subtle workings of hearts accustomed to other than the conventionalities of Irish life, he rarely acquits himself to our entire satisfaction. The " Beau" is .a very pretty tale—prettily told, but whether it be from the German or not, we cannot vouch. The " Note-book of an Irish Barrister" does great justice to the memory of the late Baron, Sir William Smith. We have met with few sketches of judicial personages, drawn with so bold and masterly a conception of character. The "Courtier of the Reign of Charles II," by Mrs. Gore is continued in this Number, as is " Sal vator Rosa, or the Two Portraits." Mrs. Crawford's Auto-biographical sketches are " continued," we trust more to the delight of other readers than they have been to us, for seldom have we read more indifferent es says. The " Deception," by Mrs. Abdy, is neither more nor less than a re-dishing-up of an entertainment presented to the readers of Fraser's Magazine, by the author of a series of papers called the " Monthly Nurse," which ap peared in the pages of Regina sonic few months ago. But even independently of this, there is little novelty about it, involving as it does, nothing more than the personal history of a distinguished living member of the British House of Peers. The literary notices are brief, but carefully written. With respect to Mr. Love's new translation of the " Arabian Nights," we would intimate to the editor that there exists no fixed rule for the orthography of words translated from the Arabic, particularly proper names and the appellation of dignities, and therefore tl,at Mr. Love's translaticn is in that respect not a a whit superior to the one which it is intended to supersede. PARBURY'S ORIENTAL HERALD. Parbury and Co. . . Miss Emma Roberts has - contributed an article to this Number, which we recommend to the notice of every young man who proposes to himself a residence of some years' duration in India. It is the seventh of a series, which both the writer and the publisher will do well to think of su')- mitting to the world in a separate form. Few Magazine articles will bear republication with credit to their authors ; but among the few, those contributed by Miss Rqberts may be safely included. The present Number is embel lished with a portrait of Dr. John Grant, for some years Editor of the India Gazelle, accompanied with a biogra phical sketch enumerating his distinguished services as a public Journalist. The mass of Oriental news contained in this publication bears ample testimony to the industry of the Editor. TIIE ASIATIC JOURNAL. Allen and C). The lovers of Oriental intelligence, in any and every shape, will he deFghted with this Number. The articles are very well written, and several of them exceedingly in teresting., particularly No. 1. of an " Analysis of Eastern Workg." The " War between Burmah and China" is an other contribution equally valuable to the philosopher and the historian. Among the Papers continued is the elabo rate summary of the " Penal Code of British India," a work of immense importance, affecting, as it does, the interests or one hundred millions of people. TAIT'S EDIN BURGH MAGAZINE. We cannot s peak very flatteringly of our .friend Tait's Sayings and Delius Far July. The Review of Talley. rand's political and diplomatic career is not (qua% either in aneedotical interest or profoundness of thought to several which appeared in the leading Paris journals the day after the Prince's death. Even Banim is scarcely at home at " Donnybrook Fair" this month — a circumstance which must surprie all whom he has delighted with his life-drawn sketches of the fun and fiolie of an Irish merry-meeting. The Review of " Shakspeare and his Friends" is capital—every worthy of the epitomizing capacity, we bad almost said genius, of Mrs. Johnstone. " Montrose and the Co venanters" is a particularly well-timed exposure of the un natural alliance recently entered into between the Chalmers and Philpotts scctions'of the Establithed Churches of Eng land and Scotland. There are several other articles, but none of them call for any especial notice. Dal id 'Vedder has contributed a very pretty Norwegian ballad to the verse contents of this Number. We read it twice, and with an increase of pleasure the second time. THE NE TV SPORTIAG MAGAZI.NE. Spiers. We have latterly noticed a very great improvement, both in the literary and pictorial departments of the " New Sporting Magazine." Whether this is attributable to any change of management, or to increased attention on the part of the artists and contributors, we cannot tell but such is the gratifying fact. The Number 'be fore us is embellished with two engravings—one of then: of Amato, winner of the Derby Stakes, by W. B. Scott. froth a painting by A. Cooper, It is carefully finished. and altogether does great credit to the arti s t. w e speak from some experience, for we have seen several engravings of Amato, executed cent mporaneousiy with the one before us ; but none equal to it as a work of art. Among the articles mist to our taste, we may mention the I - Ledley-cross Hounds," a clever satirical sketch, and the " Whisperer," an old acqua4itance in a new, and what rarely happens in such cases, an improved dress. TIIE FREEMASONS' QUARTERLY REVIEIV. Sherwood and Co. Since the establishment of this Revie , , we are assured by the Editor, in an article on the masonic polity, that a pr:nciple of healthful action has superseded a l e th arg i c less in the masonicic body, and shatis still m ore im portent, that the mystic fraternity in the thr ee ki ng d oms, has nearly tripled in numbers and respectability. Thi s ann oun cement might alarm weak minds, was it not fol lowed by a summary of the great obligations imposed by masonry, add which are all in perrect harmony with the precepts contained in the New Testament. To relieve the distressed, to speak the truth, to acquire a knowledge of our duties as men and Christians, to honour the Sove rezn, to obey all just laws in the spirit and the letter, and, as far as we are able, to afford a good example to others, are divine obligations, the strict observance of which can never be widely enough diffused—obligations which the masonic body claim to have in view in the extension of their numbers and influence. The articles being all on subjects connected with masonic institutions, we purposely abstain from offering any opinion respecting their relative merits. Those who have not seen the masonic offering presented to his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, Grand Master of the Masonic Fraternity, in the month of April last, will be delighted to learn that a handsome li thographed engraving of it embellishes the present Number of this well conducted periodiaal. BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPERS BRUSSELS, JUNE 27.—The Journal dcs Flandres has the following letter from Brussels : " I have at this moment received a letter from a corre• spondent at Rotterdam, which communicates to me a piece of news of some importance. I communicate it to you without venturing to pledge myself for its authenticity, though the writer is a very respectable person, who, I know, has oppor tunities of obtaining correct information. King William'—so he writes to me—has just sent a note to the British Mini,ter for Foreign Aff,irs, in which he puts him in mind that he has acceded to the 24 articles fur two reasons—first, to put an end as soon as possible to a state of things unfavourable to both parts of the kingdom of the Netherlands, and thus to avoid difficult discussions, as the convention of Nov. 15 contains the basement laid down of a definitive treaty. His Majesty expresses in this note a desire to be made acquainted as soon as possible with the intentions of the five Powers, in order that he may learn what line of conduct it may be advisable for him to pursue. He declares that he cannot consent to any change in the 24 articles ; and that he should consider his assent as not having been given if this ex press condition is not observed. That if the Powers should think fit to discuss the principle of any modification, his Majesty w ould definitively reject the 24 articles, and should be forced to enter directly into arrangement with the Belgian Government, without having recourse to the arbitration of the Powers, parties to the contract of 15th November, 1831.' " Such is nearly the literal translation of my correspondent's letter. Is he ill or well informed ? This is certainly a very interesting question, but I cannot take upon myself to answer it. All that I know (and my correspondent himself allows this) is, that a definitive peace is highly necessary to the Ne therlands, and that since King William has solemnly sacrificed the rights of his family by the acceptance of the 24 articles (an accedtance which is equivalent to a formal recognition of Belgium) the status quo has not a single partisan in that country. If the note, of which the above is the tenor really exist, it is a part of the interest of William to put an end, as speedily as possible, to so ruinous a state of things." BRUSSELS, JUNE 29.—A deputation of the Magistrates of Brussels was received by his Majesty the evening before yesterday. The residence of the English Ambassador was illuminated on Thursday evening, on the occasion of the Coronation of the Queen of England. The British arc increasing the fortifications of Maestricht, especially on the right boundary. Palisades have been very lately placed there. A letter from Frankfort of 22d June says : " The news of the conclusion of the - loan of 37,000,000', is important in the present state of affairs. The house of Rothschild, whose prudence and circumspection, in matters of this kind, are well known, wuuld not have concluded a loan with a state, the integrity of which did not rest on valid foun dation. We may therefore conclude, that the differences which at present exist between Holland and Belgium are not of such a serious nature as to threaten the latter. ROME, JUNE 9.—Monsignor Fabrigi, the Minister of War, died yesterday. The coachman, as be was driving his master to the Pope, remarked near St. Celso a noise in the carriage, and on leaking round to see what was the occasion of it, perceived that his master was in a fit, and had fallen tram his scat. His loss is generally lamented. His love of justice and the strictest, attention to his duty, all served to have distieguished him. He has filled but a short time the post of Minister of War, havinq succeeded M. Ugolini, who has been elevated to the dignity of Cardinal. FRANKFORT, JUNE 27. —Exchange on London, 1511; two months, 1514.—Frankfort Paper, June 28. CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 7.—The Council of State has very frequent sittings, at two of which the Sultan himself presided. The subject of the discussion is the old question of the pre tensions of Mehemet AU. It is resolved that no change shall be made in the existing relations, and that extreme mea sures shall be resorted to, if the Viceroy will not respect the authority of the Porte. This resolution has been en tirely and unanimously approved by the foreign Ambas sadors, who have, however, advised the Porte to retain its calm attitude, and not give Mehemtt occasion for any well founded complaint. This he has engaged to do, and as a proof of its intention'to follow the advice cf the Ambassadors' counter orders have been sent to three regiments of infantry, and a brigade of artillery, who were to join the army of the Seraskier in Asia, and instructions have been sent to tie Seraskier him self not to quit his present position, and not to be moved by threats of rely hind. But while the Porte thus manifests a disposition to conciliation together with dignity, it reckons on the good offices of the friendly powers, and has called on their Ambassadors to urge Mehemet to pay the arrears of his tribute. They hese declared their readiness to do this ; and th,re is r o doubt that Mehemet, who would willingly embarrass the Porte, will reflect, and again sown: the S u ltan of his submission, when he sees that this Sovereign can de pend on the support of foreign pryers. neft.el AN I.UND'i—REUSsKIA, JUNE 30 '.5 Ite) R A , c ,t t h u x a c l , p m el: s t, En N ai r 5 r rf..7znt.

LEE, HiGh CONSTABLE OF WEAT MINTER.—It is with great regret that we announce the sudden death of Mr. I.ee, the High Constable of Westminster. We tinderstand that his death is to be attributed to the great fatigue and anal, ty he un derwent in attending to the duties of I.is ellice at the Coronation on Thtusday. Mr. Lee has for many years fulfilled his arduous public duties with a zeal and integrity which must be known to all who have had occasion to attend either the Houses of Parliament or public meetings in Westminster. Before he became High Constable he carried on busi. ness at Charing.cross as a hosier and hatter, and was highly respected by all who knew him. Mr. Lee was in the 63d year of his age. On Wednesday Sir William and Lady Middleton entertained at °inner, at their House in Whitebait, the Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch the Duke of Newcastle and Lady ft. Clinton, Lord and Lady Aboyne, Lord and Lady K. Jermyn, the Marquis of Dow nshire and the Ladies Hill, Lord and Lady W. Paulet, Lord Hill, Mr. B.

To. wards the afternoon ten shillings per dozen wrs required for the loan of lamps, and a. star of the smar est size conic! not '7 , .? obtained under three guineas. THE CORONATION, DUBLIN, JUNE 0. --a Yesterday the Coronation of her Ma esty was celebrated in and arvti,htl Dublin for many mile ' with unprecedented cordiality and niatZeiticevie . c. The troops in garrisod !rsd a Royal salute in the Par! j;, ?tee , ag then with the assembled th o i.l7atelat around, in one e xhilirating cheer in honour of her I‘l,jesty. The firing feu .dr however well executed, was exceeded in effect by the ihundeiang of Heaven's artillery, which resounded firer a e rve, by a singular coincidence, et the same time, and apparentlf responded to the discharges of artillery also. The rain, however, de scending with great fury, soon cleared the Park. Many thou sands cf . the people rejoiced at finding themselves admitted gratis to the Zoological Gardens. At King's Town a ragatta was indifferently got up. The few (comparatively) who' attended were ihoioughly drenched by the rain. At night the Rotunda Gardens were illuminated; hands of music, firc worksitranspsrencies, balloons, Ric , giaddenei the hearts of all in the rromenade, and of the people assembled in vast masses ( utside the railings. Mere than the population of Dublin poured into the streets, far many came teenty miles on the occasion. The Four Courts, never illuminated on any former occasion, were tastefully adorned. The Custom-house looked very splendid indeed. The Bank of lieland attracted i vast multitudes to admire the brilliant gas devices o its front. The number of brilliant stars, transparencies, &c., exceeded any shown in Dublin on any former occasiou. EDINBURGH, FRIDAY, JUNE 29.—Yesterday waS observe: l as a holiday in Edinburgh, as well as every where else in Scotland. The shops remained shut throughout the whole day. Business of every kind was entirely suspended ; and from an early hour in the morning, the streets were thronged with well-dressed citizens, and visiters from the surrounding country, whose joyous faces, and happy greetings, told the delight with which they anticipated the forthcoming festivities. The public institutions were all thrown open gratuitously, and were thronged from the hour of opening till shutting, The prncipal scenes of attraction in the city were the College museum, the College library and paintings, the museum of the Royal College of Surgeons, the courts of law, the Advocates' library, the library of the Writers to the Sig net, and in the suburbs the botanical and experimeatal gardens, which afforded a delightful promenade to thousands. Towards the hour of noon the Esplanade is front of the Castle, the Mound, and Princes-street, from end to end, be came densely crowded. Exactly at twelve o'clock the Castle guns fired a royal salute, and the troops of the garri , on, who lined the ramparts from the east to the extreme west of the battlements, fired at intervals several felts -de joie But the chief attraction, the lion of the day, was the grand aed impesing scene at his Grace the Duke of Buceleuch's harbour at Granton, in the vicinity of the city, which was partially, and for the first time, opened for the accommodation of steamers, Lord John Scott supplying the place of his brother, the Duke of Buccleuch, in the ceren-onics. The road by Inver: kith-row, between Edinburgh and Granton pier, a distance of two and ahalf miles, literally swarmed with multitudes bending their way to this point of almost universal attraction. A splen did entertainment was provided by his G. ace for the nobility and gentry invited on board the Leith steamer. An enter mcnt was also provided in two large tents on th e s h oe for the labourers employed on the pier and new road, amounting to upwards of 300. At half.rast two o'clock Lord John Scott's beautiful yacht the Liffra, profusely decorated with flags, was tugged by a small steamer to the jetty, and landed his Lord ship and several ladies and gentlemen who accompanied him. His Lordship then immediately proceeded to name the jetty (by desire of his Grace) the Victoria Jetty, which was ac companied by the firing of guns, and the enthusiastic cheers of the multitude admitted to the pier, and re-echoed by the tens of thousands who crowded the shore, the whole of the new road within sight of the pier, and the neighbouring eminences. The steam-ship Leith then touched at the jetty, and landed a hogshead of porter (Barclay, Perkins, and Co.'s best brown stout), direct from London, which, it was announced, was a present from the General Steam Navigation Company to the workmen. This also was accompanied by the discharge of runs. The company invited then proceeded on board the Leith headed by Lord John Scott, and the Directors, where a magnificent repast was prepared for them, to which nearly 300 ladies and gentlemen sat down, the whole deck of the ship under an ample awning, having been laid out with tables. The Royal William took on board such of the company as could not find accommodation in the Leith. The company included all the nobility and gentry in Edinburgh and its neighbour hood, amongst whom we observed the Earl of Elgin, the Earl of Rothes, Lord Robert Ker, the Lord President, the Lord Justice Clerk, the Lord Provost and Magistrates of Edin burgh, the Magistrates of Leith, Sir John Hope, Sir A. M. Gibson, Sir E. Lees, Sir H. Jardine, the officers of the Royal Regiment, Staffand Orduance, a great many members of the College of Justice, &c. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Another of those disgraceful scenes which are so foreign to the usual habits of this theatre took place on Saturday night. We trust that some means will be discovered to prevent the recurrence of similar disorders, for it is clear if they be often repeated that the character of the Italian Opera mest be se riously compromised. Where the fault lies it is difficult to determine, but we believe that the evil arises from several causes, among which the most prominent arc the competition of subscribers and booksellors' tickets in the pit with those which are admitted for money on the night of performance, and the lessening of the usual accommodation in that part of the house by the addition this year of three benches to the stalls. With regard to the first, as long as the present consti tution of the house exists no remc dy can be applied. But the other should next year be corrected by a radical cure. Either of two things must be done—the whole of the twena must be con verteti into stalls, or the stalls must be restored to the pit. It is idle on these occasions to throw the blame on M. La porte. We cannot see how he is accountable. I - Ic pays an enormous rent, and salaries of an incredible amount to all the prir.cipal artists of Euro i te in the opera and ballet. He bas been compelled, in his own defelice, to convert a portion of the benches into stalls, for otherwise every seat would be oc cupied by the extra tickets of the boxes, and on the nights of the greatest excitement the money of the public would go into any other hands but his. Tice evil can be tram din the first instance to the exorbitant terms imposed by the assignees, and then to the causes we have already mentioned. We hope that something may be done before the next seaaon, for really the manger in which the property of the first theatre in the world is managed is disgraceful to the country. What can the dis tinguished strangers now in London think of our state of civi lisation, when we see the theatre of her Nlnjesiy made t h e scene of riot more disgraceful than any twat has occurred at Hyde Park fair? From the prices of admission they infer that none but respectable persons can he found in the house, but from the conduct of the audience they believe that our gentry have the manners of the canaille of other capitals. The doors were opened on Saturday night at the usual hour. The first rush was tremendous, and the pit was filled in the course of a few mitutes. The people who gained the first seats, finding they were pressed in from behind, jumped over the barrier, and took possession of the stalls. This relief deceived those who were eager for admission, and an equal number to that which was absirbed by the stalls was admitted to the pit. In the meantime the subscribers to the stalls demanded their places, but the well-dressed mob refused to give - them up until threats of the police were heard, and a compromise ol* admission on the stage offered. Them causes induced the refractory to submit, and some hundred persons found their tvay behind the scenes. But here a mote serious evil was made manifest the moment the curtain was raised; The crowd refused to withdraw beyond the wings, and, in defetuce of all order, filled up the a hole extent of the stage. The body of the house be came indignant at this outrage, and a volley of cries and Kisses broke from the stalls, pit, and gallery. A regular tat tle was about to take place between the intruders and the audience, when L. Laporte came forward and explained the cause of his difficulty, and offered at the sante time to return money to all who would leave the theatre. The manager was assailed by the grossest language. The people cried out that they came to see the opera, aid did nut want their money back. M. Laporte withdrew, but the tumult still continued both in front and oe the stage, and it was nine o'clock before the performance could he commenced. Finding all his efforts to restrain the noisy multitude unavailable, the manager re sorted to an artifice, which was successful. Ile let down the curtain, and dropped the most remote scene, as if the Opera was to begin with it. The people backed as much as possible, so as to secure safe places during the pert*.irlll - and the chamber scene, which commoners the Nozzi di Figaro, was • let down, catching he discontented in a trap between both scenes. The Opera then proceeded with • as much rapidity as the di, ided state of the scenes would per mit. Some of the crowd agreed to take back their money and withdraw, while others laid ; , old of choirs and benches, on which they stood at the wings and overloo!led the perfor mance The s i ng ers were in de :pair. It was impossible with. the grea t e st difficulty to make 'Nay through the throne. of persona who blocked up e very scrim. The audiencepen deavoured to drive back the crowd by hissing' and vocifera tion, but the greater number could not be kept within bounds, and the black hats and black coats mingled with the Spanish coatumes of the opera. It was a pity that such unpleasant cir curn-tances occurei to de-troy the beauty and brig envy of t e house, for the boxes on Saturday eveninw catitainel perhaps the mo s t di st i ngu i s h e d t h at was co ll ecte d i n th ou since the visit of the Allied Sovereigns in I Pl 4. Every stranger of eminence shining in order and radiant with diamonds was present, and the English Nobility vied by the display of all their magnificence with their illustrious guests: The Queen was trot present, but the R .yal box was occupied by a part of her usual retinue. The Elslers danced a pas de deux, and Taglioni gave one of her best scenes from the Bayaiere. The opera and ballet did not terminate till near one o'clock. TII E QUEEN.—On Saturday afternoon, the crowd of respec'alde persons asFentbl:d in St. James's Park to witness the departure of her Majesty from Buckingham Palace, far her . accu,tomed ivc, was great heyend all precedent. At a quarter past five o'clock her Majesty entered her open barouchc, accompanied by her illustrious mother, the Duchess of Kent, and Baroness Lehzen, and, preceded by two outriders, proceeded through the stable.yard, up Regent-street and the other principal streets, and returnt d through Hyde Park to the Palace about scren o'clock. The Queen locked, we rejoice to say, re markably well, and was receiv,d by the assemblage with the most en. thusiastic demonstrations cf attachment. tier Majesty was dressed in white, and wore a white chip hat„ .

GRAND CIVIC ENTERTAINMENT TO THE FOREIGN AMBASSADORS. On Saturday the Entertainment Committee, consisting of all the Aldermen and a Common Councilman from each Ward, appoilted to invite all the Ambassadors who came to England represent the Foreign Potentates at the Coronation of her Majesty, assembled at the Guildhall for the purpose of adopt ing measures in consequence of the result of the invitation. Sir M. WOOD stated that all the Ambassadors had accepted the invitation to (Ike with the Corporation, and expressed the highest gratification at the honour done them by the citizens of London it, the oppm tunity so readily taken after the grand oc caiion on which they came to England to invite them to the hospitable civic board. As some apprehension was entertained that most of the Ambassadors Extraordinary would be obliged to leave town immediately idler the Coronation, the announcement made by Sir Matthew Wood was received with a great deal of pleasure by all the members of the Committee; and they en tered into resolutions to proceed at once with the preparations in the Guildhall. It was unanimously determined that her Majesty's Ministers and the principal Members of the opposition should be invited, so that there should be no pretence for saying that there was anything of a political nature connected with the entertain. ment. It was also unanimously resolved that the entertainment should take place on the 10th of July. In consequence of the haste with which it will be necessary to make the preparations, the Committee agreed that it would be quite impossible that the Corporation could have the honour of the company of ladies on that occasion. A great deal of regret was expressed at what must prove to be so great a drawback upon the splendour of the scene and the gratifica tion of the Foreign. Ambassadors, but the exclusion was con. sidered to be quite unavoidable. It was resolved that all present should appear in Court dresses, and that the number, exclusive cf the members of the Corporation, should not exceed 600. The Hall will present a magnificent appearance. It has been improved very much at the cast end since the great en. tertainment to her Majesty. The whole will be got up pretty much in the style of the entertainment of the 9th of No. vember. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
